<h1>Hiding a control </h1>
<p>You can display information to other document designers in Design Mode, 
 while hiding it from users viewing the document in Interactive Mode or 
 View Mode. For instance, you could include a note in a text field about 
 the source of data. You then hide the text field. You achieve this by 
 placing the content you want to hide into a control, and then hiding that 
 control. You can hide entire sections of a document. You can hide the 
 following types of controls:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Grid/Graphs </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Images</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Lines</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Panel stacks </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Rectangles and rounded rectangles</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Selectors </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Text fields</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To hide a control in Interactive Mode and View Mode</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Add one of the controls listed above.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the control that you want to hide in Interactive 
 Mode and View Mode and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties 
 and Formatting</B></span>. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li style=" color: #000000; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs3">From 
 the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Clear the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Visible</B></span> 
 check box. This control will not be displayed in Interactive Mode or View 
 Mode, although it will continue to be visible in Design Mode.</p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs4">To view the results, switch to Interactive 
 Mode or View Mode. </p>
